What do people think about the GP 36 in poppy orange - too much colour? I'm 5'10" so can carry off larger bags. I have a mix of bright and more neutral H bags but currently don't have a one of these. My wardrobe is very neutral - grey, navy, brown and black. I'm looking for a bag I can just use everyday (I work from home) and don't have to worry about it too much. There is one on h.com at the moment that I am considering ordering.

Any comments and thoughts would be really appreciated. Many thanks.

I think it will work on your frame and the color is heavenly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best orange ever IMO!
 
Ahhh, thanks for the tip, immensely helpful!

I am considering the all leather GP as a daily tote, in lieu of the B I have yet to be offered by H 🙄[emoji51] The 30 is adorable but I think limited to being hand held(which I like the look of). The 36 appeals to me because it can double as a nice(r) carry on and its handles may allow shoulder wear, but...I do wonder if it might too big. I sure fret over something I may not even find anymore. Should've clicked buy when rouge H was available online late last year.

I wonder if this is the same Rouge H that was returned from a tPFer because it had red spots like leather was scraped on it.

It's a beautiful bag and one of my regrets that I let go of mine (white stitching).
 
Thanks so much for your help. I agree that it is a gorgeous colour - I have a tiny Evie in this and am looking forward to the holidays to be able to use it. My dh has told me to order it and then I can see it irl. Too many lovely colours!

It will compliment your neutral wardrobe with the orange. Orange poppy is very bright. Have you considered other toned down reds like Rouge Pivoine or Rouge H ?

I had not thought of the Rouge Pivoine - have just checked and it's gorgeous.

Too many wonderful colours!

Look at that cutie. Now I need one too! And I have a blue sapphire KdT to match it, lol. I wish I can shrink my 36 to a 30:p.


Thanks snarfy! Yes, you definitely need one; you'd love it! And you already have a matching kdt!

Love Love Love the green gems with sapphire blue! :cloud9:
Which twilly will you use to decorate this beauty?


Thanks so much lasttotheparty; Doesn't jade green go well with blue sapphire? The twilly is rive droite rive gauche in bleu electrique cw. Bet it would look great on your Evvie!
